operation of the civil service law, those only

management of their roads, continue to be

ment if the heads of its various departments
were allowed the same privilege. That the
equality of opportunity afforded by free
government is conducive to the welfare and
prosperity of labor, is proved in every ham

richest men are those who commenced life
as day laborers, and by the .. S. Senate, all

General Logan's Second Book.

General Logan at the time of his death had COM
pleted his second book, THE Volunteer Soldier OF
America, and it ready for the printer. So soon
it generally known that it was in existence,
publishers all parts of the country wrote to Mrs.
Logan making offers for its publication, Not few
called in person and used their best influence to get
the work into which 1T understood that the dead
hero had put so much thought and strength and afec
ton. his last and best tribute to the one in
terest he loved mOst-the volunteer soldier. From
Phfladelphia, New York and Chicago came publish
ers urging their special advantages and leading for
the opportunity to sell the book of the hour, Mrs
Logan and anxious to do the best thing for the
books future talked with her friends and compared
the offers of the various publishers 1t transp1res
that an enterprising Chicago publisher, Mr.. Il. s.
Peale, has secured the prize and has given to Mrs
Logan the same terms Gen. Grant received for his
Memoirs. Mr.. Peale is of the firm of r. S. Peale &
Co of Wabash avenue he is young man of push
and sagacity, and his triumph over the best known
publishers in the United States is matter of con-
graduation to the Chicago public. Mrs Logan favor
ed his offer because she preferred the book should be
published in Chicago, and also from the fact that Mr..
Peale controls the largest subscription organization
in the country. The work is destined to havea nota
BILE fame. 1t is history of military education this
country, exhaustive and remarkable. General Logan
has reared his lasting monument in this effort fer the
beloved volunteer soldier. 1t will raise the prestige
of the citizen soldier to the higher plane where Gen
eral Logan always insisted his pedestal should be. 1t
to be illustrated in the full of that term
will contain many pictorial "reminiscences historic

for in the contract. She receives two-thrds of the
profits of the book and will fully protected

There has been deadly feud raging
for few days between the towns of
Coronado and Leoti, Kansas. This
row. shows to what desperate lengths
intemperance will drive men. It is
well known that liquor is not so easily
obtained in Kansas as in Ohio, yet it
is possible to get it. A gang of seven
men from Leoti entered Coronado and
proceeded to do the town up in great
style, capturing a druggist and COM
pelling him to bring out his liquor,
and doing other unlawful acts-among
which was the innocent amusement
of shooting indiscriminately at citi-
zens along the streets. Several citi-
zens were struck by the flying bullets,
when the citizens generally came to
the conclusion that it was about
time to put a stop to that kind Of
work, and they just turned out and
opened on the gang with rifles and
pistols, and but one of the roughs es-
capped unhurt. Three were killed, out
of the raiding crowd. It is claimed
that the people of both towns have
since been going about their daily du-
ties carrying rifles, in anticipation of
raids upon each other. Some
Of our friends may think that this
state Of things is an argument against
the putting down of the liquor traffic.
We take different view Of it. These
drunken bummers held human life as
being of less value than a few drinks

One Of our leading School Teachers
while not taking grounds either
way-said to rs that the objection to
be urged against the Arnett bill pro-
viding for the teaching Of the injuri-
Gus effects Of alcohol on the system, is
that it will add to the already large
number Of studies in the public
schools. We may be pardoned for
saying that that is no objection at all.
1t is true that many schools are
crowded to death with studies, yet in
these very schools perhaps one-third
of the present exercises might be dis
pensed with, and something better
taught in their stead. Let there be
less Literary" and similar exercises,
and more of the common branches,
anu especially penmanship, which has
almost dropped out of tbs schools in
many localities To teach the COM
mon branches, and incorporate in the
study of Physiology strong lessons
upon the evils Of alcoholic drinks,
would be far better than filling up the
time of the school with useless non
sense. We are proud of. our public
schools in this county, and would be
still mor5 so if Temperance were as
Systematically and earnestly taught as
any other branch considered necessary.
There is plenty of time to teach a
child something that may save it from
life Of misery, and possibly an eter-
nifty of suffering. Let Temperance be
taught, at home, in the school, every

Congress wound up its work las

Congress wound up It's work last
week with a great rush Of business.
At the last moment the Senators sent
over for the President to come over
and sign some bills that had been
rushed through, and the reports are
that he waited until the door-keeper
had to turn the clock back in order to
steal time, and sauntered leisurely in,
signing few bills, letting others go,
and evincing a determination to put
himself out as little as possible to
facilitate the public business. The
river and harbor bill, and general de-
ficiency bill, were left to the tender
mercies of the March winds. It may
be possible that the poor man is over
worked!

A short time ago "Rev." Charles N.
Ward, of Englewood, n. j., shot his
wife, badly wounding her. The story
of their difficulty, as since told, proves
that the good man ought to have been
treated to a coat of tar and feathers.
He was in he'd on the night of the
shooting, and sought every pretext for
quarreling with his wife, but the wo-
man would not quarrel with him. FL
nally he got up, at two o'clock in the
morning, and began to write letters.
compelling his wife to get up and
copy them for him. But her work
did not suit, and she went back to
bed, taking her infant daughter with
her. Here the brute followed her, and
informed her that he was going to
leave for New York. She informed
him that If he left, she would go to
New York to her people, and remain
with them Then the Rev. scoundrel
went to an adjoining room and pro-
cured revolver, and approaching the
bed where his wife and child lay, ex-
claimed: ''Say that again. The
woman refused to speak again.
''Speak, before I count fve!" said the
brute. and began to count, firing as he
counted five.
This brutal murdererrthis man who
had made his home so horribly disa-
greeable that his wife could mot re-
main, and who sought to murder her
for talking about leaving, was doubt
less one Of that class Of people who
claim to have reached a point in relig-
ious experience where they cannot sin,
and where the human side of their
character is entirely obliterated. This
fellow had doubtless been preaching
love and purity to the people, uphold
ing the sanctity of the home, and en-
larging upon the wonders of love.
Whenever man gets to that point.in
religious experience where he claims
that he cannot sin, he is dangerous.

we had been led to suppose that the
Democracy had so far recovered from
the fright that the legal protection
might be dispensed with. We remem-
ber that the greater portion of the
Democratic party-the Southern por-
tion-had no fears of any harmful
results from the most intimate associ-
alton with ''niggers." It is to be hoped
that our Democratic friends Of the
North will become reconciled, after a
while, to a law which permits a man
to marry any woman he chooses-if
she will have him.

Stand Up!

Look up, oh, fainting heart, look up.
Aspire to grander things
The pleasure of the poisoned cup
But woe and sadness brings;
Above the reckless. wayward life,
The star of hope still shines,
And just beyond the raging strife,
A victor's Peace reclines.
Aim far above the horrid goal
That marks the sinners doom,
Upon the current of the bowl
There rides wave of gloom;
Yemay not tempt its fickle charm,
Nor hover near its brink
'Tis but TO brave a lasting harm
To mock the Demon Drink.
Amid the shadows of the path
Let hope inspiring rise,
And though the gathering shades of wrath
Behold the purer skies;
Heed not the Tempter's willy voice,
He spreads a ready snare
Look upward! Let the soul rejoice
In signs of triumph there.
Along the valley, lone and dark,
When Reasons light hath fled,
Love gently holds a glimmering spark
Above the troubled head;
The tottering soul may walk with ease
Beneath its cheerful ray,
And, by its glance. Ambition secs
A better, grander day.
Cast off the dull, ungenerous thought
That drags the spirit down,
For thee, fair Destiny hath wrought
rich and beauteous crown;
For thee. Infinite iovs await
Richer than earth can give
No longer tempt cruel Fate,
Look mp Look up, and live.

were willing to shoot down innocent,
law-abiding citizens at their own
homes. This is what the liquor busi-
ness teaches, this is the kind of appe-
tite it makes, and the sooner the
teaching is stopped the better. Men
who sell liquor have no regard what
ever for human life or human safety,
and the putting out of the stuff is the
first step towards safety.
